What
do I do when I’m free? I pick the most unusual horror movies to
watch- the ones where not a lot of people have even heard of.
Something about watching really bad horror movies, helps me relax and
I suppose it is because of the laughable plot or the atrocious
acting.
Bleed,
in my opinion wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The poster
was mundane and it didn’t help that the few screenshots I found of
the movie promised a very tedious viewing experience. I did have a
few movies to choose from and eventually I decided to go for this one
mainly because it was categorized as a horror and had a better rating
than the other movies.
Anyway,
I set down to watch the movie, expecting to be bored in the first
scene itself and instead I was actually immediately hooked in the
first scene itself. For me, when horror movies use the same old tired
theme and dark filters and ominous music, I get bored because who
wants to watch a cliched horror movie, right? The one where you can

If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable.
Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instill dear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.

She finds her secret talents in a music hall where plays are held, led by Dan Leno, an actor who doesn’t mind cross-dressing. He runs the hall with the help of Elizabeth’s “uncle” who has a twisted secret of his own.
When Elizabeth’s husband is fo…

Every horror movie ever made, has in some way or the other challenged our beliefs, fears and our very existence. Do we truly live after we die? That's a question that is perpetually asked and the answer is controversial: we either don't or we turn into ghosts, fixated to a very particular place that holds meaning to us. That place is usually a house. THE UNSPOKEN, is actually a very clever movie that incorporates elements of horror, thriller and crime into a very compelling tale. Though I must mention it does falter in the horror scenes where it uses the same old tired formula of startling background scores, creaking of furniture and doors opening and closing by themselves. These clichés almost put you off. Then the twist is revealed and suddenly you understand why these clichés were deliberately used. The film begins in 1997 where a policeman answers a distress call to a house. He encounters strange happenings in the blood smeared house. But what is even more strange, is that…
